Is Sim Drifting Realistic? Assetto Corsa Drifting Vs Real Life with Comparison Footage

[@borodori]

I started real life drifting late 90s, stopped in 2006 because our track closed (Hawaii Raceway. Recently got my sim drift setup (relivately new to sim) and downloaded our defunct Hawaii track in AC, feels 99% like it did in real. I use the same techniques approach the course the same. Also I iniitally started with a t248 (didnt feel real) then to Fanatec Direct,made all the difference.

[@JankyDrift]

Yeah t300 at a minimum as far as I'm concerned. Getting away from the lower end wheels (g29/t248/etc.) really does make a difference.

[@alexandrucristian289]

@@JankyDrifti have the T300-RS GT Edition and i bought the Sparco Mod pack as well for the sparco wheel and handbrake. I couldn't be more pleased with it.

[@realmichaeltian]

@@JankyDriftI should’ve just bought a better wheel, G920 took so much time just to dial in and then even more time to figure out how to even balance a drift

[@Ticoriko]

one of the few preaching this I appreciate you for giving us living room drifters hope and proving nay Sayers wrong , extremely helpful content

[@darkizofficial]

Thanks for this, i train in assetto everyday 300-500hp cars, soon gona transit to real life, we have some drift track polygon and soon gonna try it out. But this video helps so much!

[@RhodokTribesman]

You're gonna be in for a real fucking shock if you experience that anywhere near the limit on the backroads, I'll tell you that much lmao. 100hp is scary, 300 is terrifying, 400+ is racecar driver shit. Be safe, bro kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGXQlWWGibSXetE

[@darkizofficial]

​@@RhodokTribesman I know you mean good, but i actually drive Audi S8 1997 (340hp) and ofc i'm gona have instructor beside. Cuz that instructor gave me few spins in 400hp drift car (drift taxi) on the same polygon I'm gonna drift on anyways. For drift on this polygon i'm gonna use modified car (instructor gives one at the beginning for learning purposes) which i'll buy after i learn track and get comfy, actually good deal (RWD Audi A4 1998 - V6 produces 310hp and it's perfect for the drift polygons). You too, stay safe. kzbin.info/www/bejne/raTGc6eFa7mSeZI

[@MizuDeDrifting]

i plan to make the jump and i hope to make it big someday but i’m 15 can’t even get my permit yet so for now i’m stuck in the sim. i found your content really inspiring and makes me hopeful for my future, keep the videos coming

[@JankyDrift]

Cool man, glad you like it. Start saving for tires now lol.

[@VOSANCo]

Really awesome video man! Keep it up :)

[@IronLungProductionsOfficial]

Great Video!, I share the same views, Doesn't beat real seat time but it's the next best thing!

[@ozturkberkayy]

Hands down, literally the BEST video on this topic! Thank you!

[@Bladeeguy]

Hoping for a similar transition with sim to irl with my 350z need to weld my diff though :0 thanks for the content !

[@billyhatcher643]

your video just randomly popped up on my feed and im glad to know that drifting in games is basically almost like real life minus the track conditions of irl cement and gforce

[@gunsaitouge3822]

Would be interesting to compare the real life drifting to AC with a motion rig

[@premyaragarla3600]

Came from the KZbin ad, shockingly good and interesting content for a fairly new channel

[@YamaTora]

Quality content right here! Keep it up 👌

[@AdventureChalet]

Great video as always!! Please keep em coming!

[@JankyDrift]

Appreciate it!

[@BlakedaBull]

thanks for your personalized feedback! great length while you answered a real sim question as best you could, all the real world investment really riches this advice..

[@alexandrucristian289]

Loved the part where you mention: you could have someone slap you in the face :)) Reminds me of when i had a friend over to have fun on my rig and he said is not very real because you don't have the G forces and all of that, and i said to him, yeah, i can shake your chair like theres a fck earthquake if you want :D hahahaha. - I'm doing SIM DRIFTING and i'm very much considering doing it in the real life. I have a DRIFT Experience coming soon where i will drift with their cars on a track and i'm very much looking forward to it and put in the skills i'm learning in Assetto Corsa.

[@frankforbes8534]

Cool. Thanks for this. Just going down a rabbit whole on a wheels pedals upgrade to my console system. New but Old school arcade gamer

[@tarmacterrorist.thepotato]

Great video mate! Well presented, very imformative! Great for me as its something I intend to do at some point, hopefully. Have offer of a wet airfield to use, will be a bit of a challenege as my car is a FWD estate car, (can't afford another RWD car atm), but once the tires are nearly ready for a change I'll be taking it there to at least enjoy getting the back end out under lift off oversteer in a safe enviroment. Really enjoyed watching this. Cheers!

[@quintogala8661]

nice to know this cause i sim drift and look forward to starting in real life

[@Tutankhamun.]

i just saw your ad , very tastefully done earned my subb ! =) keen to see what you got in store ! and awesome video im sending this to my little brother i just got him a drift sim

[@jak3zera]

awesome video man, just subbed

[@tadragracer1947]

Very Entertaining, great job

[@peppedik]

big thanks from italy!, i drift in real life in my 86, but man i really struggle on sim. i have the t300, i will try your setting hope i feel the difference.

[@JankyDrift]

Yeah a lot of people struggle with that, just have to get used to drifting more from the feedback in the wheel instead of what you would feel in the car. Try easier packs like gravy Garage, they've got a ton of steering angle which will probably help transition you over.

[@tommykrissy6712]

You should come out to Lanier raceway one of the drift nights if you haven’t already!

[@chinkraw1]

Been sim drifting for about six months looking to make the jump and ironically the 350z was what i was looking at as a starter

[@akioasakura3624]

I love your channel!! Most people have never touched a car ever, or start playing the game after 10+ years of drifting irl So I think that your channel is very unique and the videos are cool cuz they resemble 2012 KZbin Also, I have a question about the cars in game. If I haven’t drifted irl, how can I know if a mod is realistic or not? Thank you for uploading!!

[@JankyDrift]

Appreciate it. Very much going for that vibe before everyone bloated their videos for the sake of ad revenue. Honestly without having real life driving experience you probably just need to lean on other folks with experience to confirm what's realistic or not. I thought I knew what was realistic when I first started drifting on Assetto, but now that I drift in real life I have a completely different perspective.

I saw ad of your channel I like it

[@lilp2xel936]

Great video! I'm trying to make the swap from assetto corsa to real life but I want to make it as realistic as possible. What gear do you use on your sim-drifting setup?

[@JankyDrift]

My current setup, but you can definitely cut corners and still learn just the same: Simagic Alpha Mini Thrustmaster T-LCM pedals Thrustmaster Th8A shifter Ebay/Amazon Handbrake NRG Bucket seat NRG 350mm steering wheel Reverb G2 VR Headset

[@vladledrac]

tbh with the road feel and suspension feel even though it never going to feel 100% to real life IMO that's where you need a motion sim and no not the seat mover kind. I'm talking like the 3 or 4 or 6 axis motion platforms

[@JankyDrift]

I've driven a few motion rigs and they definitely do help with immersion. Would love to upgrade my rig to motion eventually as it definitely gets you closer to real life, but honestly it's still a far cry from the real thing.

[@ainmeile]

3:37 could be a fun patreon tier

[@JankyDrift]

I don't know why but this reminded me of a Chapelle skit from back in the day kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4HVXquphtubndksi=iqMpVnB-en2rP3Mb

[@imadragnZ]

Nice videos.. is your z stock ?

[@JankyDrift]

For power it's just intake and high flow cats. For suspension basically everything has been replaced with adjustable pieces including coilovers, control arms, and so on. Then welded diff and hydro handbrake. Going to do a video about the car eventually.

[@imadragnZ]

I had a stock e30 with a welded diff before and i had no feedback from the wheel like in assetto.. i was wondering if that will be the case for a stock z with a welded diff i havent tried to drift with my z

[@imadragnZ]

I mean to make the wheel turn on fast its own after an initiation

[@JankyDrift]

@@imadragnZ if you install an angle kit most of them will decrease the rotation needed for your steering wheel to hit full lock in either direction. That’ll make your car feel more like the ones in the game do. They also generally allow for caster adjustments which affects how fast your car will self-steer.

Nice add i was watching night ride

[@matta5112]

Does it matter what wheels settings? I’m not sure if I have realistic wheel settings. Is it possible if u can give me wheels settings?

[@JankyDrift]

I have videos posted for the t300 and for simagic. Otherwise you'll probably have to look for other tutorials.

[@matta5112]

@@JankyDrift is it possible if u can give me the link for the 350z?

[@ryandhillon9855]

Which game was you using the first Assetto Corsa or the competizone?

[@JankyDrift]

The first assetto. Competizone is all GT cars which don't really drift.

[@SlushBoxJunikee]

Can anyone recommend any drifting mod cars for ac? :D

Saw your yt add💀

[@F34RALI]

Hey do u know where I can find realistic car packs in assetto to use?

[@JankyDrift]

Death wish garage is my favorite pack. I have a video talking about some of the most commonly used ones including DWG, WDTS, and Gravy Garage. Here is where you can download the 350z I was using in the video: acdriftingpro.com/file/574-death-wish-garage/
